I wanted to personally send a Thank-You, to everyone that has sent me referrals by PM and on this thread.
Some of it has made me realize some of my technical skill sets would have benifited with an engineering degree (or degree of any kind for that matter) and that the jobs my skills are still relevant in (electrical/telecom/cunstruction) require more physical ability then I currently have - still not able to squat all the way down.
I'm still looking for light duty work, either in an office or some other job driving to job sites or whatever is out there.
Having gained a good amount of weight since my last office job, I'm in 42's and all my dress clothes are 38's) I am looking for an informal position and if at all possible, closer to the west side of Vancouver - although if the pay makes up for it then travel to Beaverton or Gresham isn't out of the question.
I'm not much of a salesman, although I have great customer service skills and the ability to learn any job they are willing to take a bit of time to teach me.
Being at home for 6 years with the last 2 helping run a good chunk of programming at a 7k person convention either is setting me back or I've just been unlucky with my job applications so far.
Thought I had a couple in the bag but I've not heard back from any of them yet - although my wife keep telling me it's not like it used to be and to keep at it.
